DETROIT, June 10—
The Chrysler Corporation said today that it was juggling the responsibilities of three of its top officers.

Chrysler reassigned Joseph E. Cappy, 59, to become vice president of technologies and rental car operations. Mr. Cappy has been vice president for international operations at Chrysler since 1990. Previously, Gary C. Valade, the company's new chief financial officer, supervised the rental car companies.

A Chrysler spokesman, Steve Harris, said Mr. Cappy "brings a lot of marketing and field experience" to the new position. Mr. Cappy joined Chrysler as vice president of the Jeep-Eagle division in 1987, and became vice president for brand development in 1989.

Mr. Cappy's international responsibilities will be assumed by Thomas C. Gale, 49, who continues as vice president for product design. Mr. Gale, in turn, gives up his responsibility as general manager for mini-van operations to Theodor R. Cunningham, 47, executive vice president for sales and marketing. Mr. Cunningham will continue his marketing responsibilities.

Chrysler also promoted John Herlitz from director of car exterior design to executive director of product design. He will report to Mr. Gale.
